To answer your question about the remote keyless entry. I have the same kit and I installed my antenna under the drivers dash, and I have no trouble with the antenna reading the fob. You could test yours by installing it where its hidden, with some double stick tape and standing back some ways and testing it. I don't see it being an issue.

i have not installed mine yet. I wish I had some room under the dash! I have several relays, some specialized Dakota Digital modules and a fuse box already under there and still need room someplace for an auxiliary fuse block, my Dakota Digital instrument cluster module, the power lock module. The AC vent sure takes up a lot of real estate! I might need to rework the dash!

Speaking of power locks - my wife saw me looking at a kit from A1 Auto that didn’t require an antenna and locked/unlocked the door when the vehicle was started or ignition turned off. Guess what I got for Christmas? I’ll have to compare the US sourced kit vs the Chinese kit!

Also, question - I want to do the power windows like 66vert did on the cheap. What motors did you get from Amazon?

Thanks and again, nice job!

i ordered the late 80’s/early 90’s truck motors from Rock Auto. They are 2 wire (up and down) just like my tailgate motor. Funny thing is I can get neither one to do anything. I mounted the passenger one to that regulator like 66vert did. Prior to installing it in the door, more testing and nothing. Bad Chinese motor? Possibly. But both of them? Obviously I might be doing something wrong in the wiring; however, set up the same way on my tailgate motor, that motor moves the arms up and down like a champ. I’ve moved on to other parts of the build for the time being.
